The Feast Day Of Our Lady Of Lourdes
Today we rejoice, with hearts full of grace,
Honouring Mary in her hallowed place.
A mother so gentle, so pure and so bright,
She bathes us in mercy, she leads us in light.
In Lourdes she appeared, so humble, so mild,
To Bernadette, a sweet, faithful child.
A message she brought, of prayer and of love,
A call to repentance, to Heaven above.
The waters still flow, so healing, so pure,
A sign of her love, a hope that is sure.
The sick and the weary, the broken in pain,
Find solace and strength in her holy domain.
At New Milton’s heart, in Hampshire so fair,
With faithful who gather, in reverence and peace,
Seeking her blessings, their souls find release.
O Lady of Lourdes, so tender, so true,
We lift up our hearts, we call upon you.
Intercede for your children, guide us each day,
Lead us to Jesus, the Life and the Way.
With rosaries clasped, on this feast day bright,
We pray in devotion, we walk in her light.
Today and forever, her presence endures,
Our Lady of Lourdes, so loving, so pure.

Immaculate Mary!
Our hearts are on fire,
that title so wondrous
fills all our desire.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
We pray for God's glory,
may His kingdom come!
We pray for His vicar,
our Father, and Rome.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
We pray for our mother
the church upon earth,
and bless, sweetest Lady,
the land of our birth.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
For poor, sick, afflicted
thy mercy we crave;
and comfort the dying,
thou light of the grave.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
There is no need Mary,
nor ever has been,
which thou cants not succour,
Immaculate Queen.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
In grief and temptation,
in joy or in pain,
we'll ask thee, our mother,
nor seek thee in vain.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
O bless us, dear Lady,
with blessings from heaven.
And to our petitions
let answer be given.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
In death's solemn moment,
our mother, be nigh;
as children of Mary -
help us when we die.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
And crown thy sweet mercy
with this special grace,
to behold soon in heaven
God's ravishing face.
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
Ave, ave, ave Maria!
To God be all glory
and worship for aye,
and to God's virgin mother
an endless Ave.
